Banna woman, a photo from Southern, South

Photographer's Note

With her elaborated carved hat made from a gourd, this Banna woman was at the market close to the town of Kay Afar in the Omo valley. The single solid necklace indicates that she is her husbands first wife. Like many of the women of tribal groups in this region her hair is kept in strands using a combination of butter, mud and incense.

Hello Steve,
Everything is quite fantastic in this portrait. Her hat, hair, necklace, earrings, and above all her facial features and hint of a smile. Sharpness and exposure are superb.
Regards,
Gert

Hello Stephen,

This is an excellent portrait of the lady with which you have filled the frame. The details of her face are crisp and you have captured a sort of 'knowing smile' which suggests a sparkle and confidence to her character.
All her facial, hat and hair details are pin sharp.
Had she paid for this portrait, she would not have been disappointed!

Thank you for the notes, too. They were helpful.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)
